[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 853960, member: 10291"] I would go along with the 260 for the ballistic advantages stated in the previous posts. Owning both a LRH and the LRP which is chambered n 260, you might consider the LRP instead. My LRH used for hunting is chambered in 6.5x284. Being priced pretty close to the LRH, the LRPhas quite a few advantages, particularly since you don't plan on using it for hunting. The LRP is a few pounds heavier but this serves to make a very stable shooting platform for long range shooting. The HS precision stock is substantially better, it has a longer, heavy fluted barrel, and the "target" Accutrigger. Most importantly, it is exceptionally accurate. The fit and finish is very good. Mine, along with few other shooters that own them at egg shoot competitions shoot right along with customs. I have on several occasions shot as many as 100 rounds out of a hot barrel with no change in it's typical .25MOA or better group size or POI. The LRH is an accurate rifle that makes a good hunter due to it's weight and will certainly serve your intended purpose, but you may find the LRP better suited. IMO [/QUOTE]
